Chapter 204: Top Defensive Player of the Year favorites

"It's still a victory!" Director Zhang sighed. Before this game, his flag was not enough. Now he won the victory, and finally this old commentator would not be slapped in the face like Barkley and O'Neal in the United States.

Lin Sen usually shows more of his assisted defense and frame protection on the defensive end. No matter which direction you attack the basket, you cannot ignore Lin Sen's frame protection. Every player who wants to attack the Pacers' basket must be careful of Lin Sen's existence.

In this game against the Nuggets, Lin Sen's candy defense also made Jokic on the opposite side very uncomfortable, and his single defense is also the forefront. Although Jokic is just a 17105 player, if you want him to score easily, many people in the league can do it, but if you want him to not organize the entire team, this is probably an extremely difficult thing.

After this game, Lin Sen's call for the best defensive player has become increasingly high. His defense in this game is already amazing. In addition, last year, everyone despised Lin Sen as a rookie, which led to his outstanding performance on the defensive end not only not being nominated for the best defensive player, but not even a consolation prize. The best defensive lineup does not have Lin Sen's presence in either the first or second team, and the number of votes is pitifully small.

It was not until later that Lin Sen helped the Cavaliers win the championship with his excellent defense that everyone truly felt the importance of Lin Sen's defense in these games, but there was no way, and there was no option to be the best defensive player in the playoffs.

This year, Lin Sen has become the core of the Pacers. At most, his glory is to share it with George. He will no longer be blocked by the star-studded Knights. Everyone can see how important Lin Sen's excellent defense is to the Pacers.

In the next away game, Lin Sen even brought his defensive ability to the extreme. After winning the Nuggets, the Pacers ran to a new destination without stopping, tearing the city of Portland.

The team where the Trail Blazers are located is another top backcourt double gun combination in the league after playing against the Raptors. Lillard naturally needs no further. Last year, some people even thought he was the top ten players in the league. McClum is also not simple, from averaging 6 points to averaging 20 points per game, this is not something that can be done simply by increasing the right to take action.

However, the Pacers are completely different from the Pacers who used to be slow to heat up on the spot and make different changes according to the opponent's tactics. From the very beginning, their playing style was very purposeful.

Attack the inside! The name of the starting inside of the Trail Blazers is Mason Plumley. The second team that is lost in most teams may be the head coach who will dislike his butter hand and his speed of sending fouls, but for the Trail Blazers, he is only available. At least he has a certain setter ability and enough height. There are also veterans like Ed Davis, who are barely available to face most teams.

But it was Lin Sen tonight. Plumley became a foul machine in front of Lin Sen. Don’t ask the defense end, just sending a foul. In Lin Sen’s footsteps and fake moves, he got two fouls in just five minutes. Ed Davis was also educated by Lin Sen on the court, but at least he wouldn’t foul. Thinking of Lin Sen getting four points with free throws alone, Stotts’ heart was aching.

For the Trail Blazers, it is common for them to be beaten in the inside, and Stotts has been prepared for this. Although in fact, it is more cruel than his preparations, they have to play back from the outside.

However, what the head coach Stotts thought seemed a bit too simple. The Pacers were also prepared on the outside. They directly strengthened the defense on the outside today, which was pressing, and did not give the Trail Blazers two extremely accurate three-pointers at all a chance.

Lillard averaged 28.2 points per game, and the top five in the league, so naturally it was not just three-pointers. His breakthrough was also very lethal. Eric Gordon forced him tightly and he broke through to the inside. However, at the first time of breaking through the past, he faced Lin Sen's assisted defense. Plumley and Ed Davis were completely ineffective in the inside, and he had no long-range ability. As long as Lin Sen guaranteed that they were behind him, he had the courage to defend.

Lillard's layup was disturbed, and even the pull-up was much larger than that of the usual centers. This goal was naturally a sad cold and missed.

Compared to Lillard, he has more three-pointers and layups, while McCollum is a junior mid-range shooter. He may be one of the best defenders in the league in mid-range shooting, but tonight he still did not escape the interference from Lin Sen.

Linson's defense area is too wide. McCollum, who holds the ball, rushed in and planned to pull it out one step, but he still needs to increase the arc when shooting, but McCollum can't guarantee his shooting percentage.

With such a fierce outside pressure and Lin Sen's assisting defense, this pair played one of the worst performances this season.

Lillard, the top five scorer in the league, scored 17 points from 6 of 17 shots, McCollum was slightly better, scored 19 points from 8 of 19 shots. When the Trail Blazers combined only scored 36 points, it was hard to imagine how the Trail Blazers would win.

113:97, the Pacers won the second away game. Lin Sen's defense in this game once again conquered most fans, and it was rare to see the Trail Blazers' double guns at the same time. The Pacers' defensive system, mainly Lin Sen, did it, and the pair of Kings of the North who fought for the first place with the Raptors before falling into the hands of the Pacers, was already the second pair of double guns that fell into the hands of Lin Sen.

"Lin can defend the center, the forward, and the defender can be supplemented. I can't think of anything else that they can't do."

"Man, Lin's defense is not just unfixed, his defense range is also very large. Today, a ball hit the three-point line and went to defend Damian. Damian's transfer has been done very well. When the second pass reaches the inside, you will find that Lin Sen, who was just outside the three-point line, has returned. Mason took it sadly; a big hat, how sad it is for this poor butter-handed center who has no chance of attacking."

"Data cannot represent everything, but it can explain a lot! Lin's defense is still improving. His defensive data exploded in the first month, but it is still growing now."
